Thank you Sephora, Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, and Kora!
I was lucky to be selected to receive some new products to try courtesy of Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora Organics, and Sephora.
I am very appreciative of this generous gift!
The products include:
Nudestix #BABEBOSS Faves Box, a limited edition box that has six pencils in matte, cream, and gel formulas handpicked by Nudestix co-founders Ally and Taylor, in addition to some of the brand's favorite beauty influencers.
I was quite impressed! This fragrance with notes of Rose de Mai, Geranium, and Vetiver is lovely. The mist was fine, and left no weird white residue in my medium brunette hair. I wash my hair every other day, and the slight oil in my hair was eliminated by the product. It did also give some volume at the roots without feeling heavy which is great, as I don't like the feeling of a lot of product in my hair. The fragrance is subtle to moderate in strength, without being overpowering. I was excited to try the Nirvana Rose scent first, because I have not smelled it before.
Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil, described as a luxurious, powerful yet delicate treatment oil for the face and neck. It has antioxidant and essential fatty acid rich oils to smooth, nourish and brighten the skin. Kora Organics is founded by Miranda Kerr.
Initial Review of the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil: (added 5/11)
Initial thoughts on the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil:
It has a sweet, yet pleasant fragrance I would describe as fruity/rose. The scent is quite strong and lingered on my skin for several hours after application. I have sensitive, combo skin with dry cheeks and an oily nose and forehead. On the box it says the oil is suitable for all skin types. My skin has not reacted or broken out, and the dryness in my cheeks already feels improved by the oil. Here is a photo of the ingredients for anyone curious about it. I will report back again in a few days as I continue to use the product.
The gift box was so beautifully presented, with everything individually wrapped, and even some chocolate! ❤
I will report back my thoughts as I try each product, and post swatches of the Nudestix pencils. 🙂

Great breakdown on the different formulas @veronika23! It's interesting that Stiletto is pulling more pink on you as well. It's still a gorgeous and vibrant color, but a much more every day wearable type of red (for me anyway lol).

I was actually just looking at that dry shampoo! I do like Elizabeth & James scents and I need to restock on dry shampoo. My go to has been klorane, but always up for switching up my dry shampoo. Glad you liked it!

More surprise goodies! 😍 Just like @veronika23, the Elizabeth and James dry shampoos could not be shipped to me due to shipping restrictions. So Sephora and @KatieBT were sweet enough to send some other products my way!
Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Sheer Shine Lipstick - Ambush Spirit
Skyn Iceland Plumping Lip Gel
Leneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Thank you so much Sephora & @KatieBT!! You're just too sweet! My lips are going to look incredible with this set of products. I cannot wait to try them all out. 😊💗

@veronika23 I'm going to try it out tonight, so I'll be sure to report back! 🙂 I'm really excited to try it out, it's one of those things that I had been interested in a while ago (but never actually pulled the trigger and bought it). I was so surprised to see it when I opened the box. 😄

Sorry for the terrible lighting! I need to get new light bulbs apparently lol. The things you realize when you take selfies 😂 (Which I don't do often...I know I'm a weirdo)
This is the lovely shade Sin from the Nudestix #BABEBOSS fave box. It is definitely my favorite! Such a beautiful nudey pink 👄. The formula really is top notch! It has great lasting power and does not cling to any dry patches. It has full coverage without feeling like you have anything on your lips. Love love love!!
P.S. Thank you so much for the gorgeous handmade pearl necklace @k617💕 It's been well loved for this crazy wedding season lol.
